We've been living up in Mandurah for 30 odd years and never been down here, decided it was time to change that and had a thoroughly enjoyable time, there's a cafe (but beware it's not open every day and closes early afternoon), we particularly enjoyed the machinery museum but the arts and crafts were also excellent, we all bought something.
